Il Khyber Pakhtunkhwa presenta una notevole varietà [[clima]]tica, racchiudendo quasi tutti i tipi di clima riscontrabili in Pakistan. Situata in gran parte sull'altopiano iranico, si estende a sud dal passo Broghil nella catena dell'[[Hindu Kush]], coprendo quasi sei gradi di latitudine ed essendo prevalentemente montuosa. Nella zona di [[Dera Ismail Khan]], considerata tra le più calde dell'Asia meridionale, le temperature possono sfiorare i 50 °C, mentre i rilievi settentrionali godono di estati miti e inverni molto rigidi. L'aria è in genere molto secca, circostanza che accentua le escursioni termiche sia giornaliere che annuali.<ref>{{cita web | url=https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V19_153.gif | titolo=North-West Frontier Province – Imperial Gazetteer of India, v. 19, p. 147 | editore=Dsal.uchicago.edu | accesso=25 maggio 2010 | dataarchivio=24 maggio 2010 | urlarchivio=https://web.archive.org/web/20100524160041/http://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V19_153.gif | urlmorto=no}}</ref>

Le precipitazioni variano enormemente: sebbene gran parte del territorio sia arida o semi-arida, nella fascia orientale che risente del [[monsone]] (da metà giugno a metà settembre) si registra invece la piovosità più elevata di tutto il Pakistan. I distretti di [[Distretto di Upper Chitral|Upper Chitral]] e [[Distretto di Lower Chitral|Lower Chitral]], per la loro collocazione occidentale e per la protezione offerta dal massiccio del [[Nanga Parbat]], sono quasi del tutto al riparo dai [[Monsone|monsoni]] che interessano l'est del Paese. Vi prevale pertanto un clima più vicino a quello dell'Asia centrale che non al subcontinente indiano, con inverni molto freddi e [[Neve|nevicate]] abbondanti che possono isolare i passi montani. In estate, le temperature nelle valli possono superare frequentemente i 40 °C, ma l'umidità è estremamente bassa, rendendo la calura più sopportabile rispetto ad altre aree dell'Asia meridionalethe valleys, however, summers can be hotter than on the windward side of the mountains due to lower cloud cover: Chitral can reach {{convert|40|C|F}} frequently during this periodmeridionale.<ref name="Trekking">{{cita libro | autore=John Mock e Kimberley O'Neil | titolo=Trekking in the Karakoram and Hindukush | p=15 | isbn=0-86442-360-8}}</ref><ref>{{cita libro | autore=John Mock e Kimberley O'Neil | titolo=Trekking in the Karakoram and Hindukush | pp=18-19 | isbn=0-86442-360-8}}</ref>
 
Nell'area centrale del Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, che comprende distretti come [[Dir (stato)|Dir]], il clima è più umido rispetto a Chitral, grazie ai venti carichi di umidità provenienti dal [[Mar Arabico]] che incontrano i versanti montuosi. Qui gli inverni sono meno rigidi che nel nord, mentre le estati non raggiungono mai il caldo estremo di Dera Ismail Khan. Tuttavia, quando il [[monsone]] è attivo, l'aumento dell'umidità può accentuare la sensazione di afa. Le precipitazioni, tuttavia, mostrano un andamento particolare: a Dir, il mese più piovoso rimane spesso marzo per via delle perturbazioni invernali, mentre nella regione di Hazara oltre la metà delle piogge annuali è concentrata nel periodo monsonico, generando un regime biometricopluviometrico bimodale.<ref name="Wernsted">{{cita libro | autore=Frederick L. Wernsted | titolo=World Climatic Data | anno=1972 | editore=Climatic Data Press | pp=522}}</ref>
 
Procedendo verso sud, lontano dai rilievi dell'Himalaya e del Karakoram, il clima passa dal subtropicale umido dei contrafforti a quello via via più [[Clima desertico|arido]], simile alle condizioni presenti nel [[Sindh]], nel [[Belucistan (Pakistan)|Belucistan]] o nel sud del [[Punjab (Pakistan)|Punjab]]. Le precipitazioni sono esigue (spesso inferiori ai 400 mm annui) e le temperature estive possono diventare torride, specialmente nell'area di Dera Ismail Khan, al confine meridionale della provincia, con picchi fra i più elevati al mondo. Durante i mesi invernali, le notti risultano piuttosto fredde e, sebbene le gelate siano frequenti, le massime diurne rimangono di norma gradevoli sotto un sole abbondante.<ref>{{cita web | titolo=Birds of Dera Ismail Khan District of the Northwest Frontier Province in Pakistan | url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/237410649 | accesso=13 febbraio 2021 | sito=ResearchGate}}</ref>

=== Composizione etnica: il ruolo centrale dei Pashtun ===
|1868|1,713,596
Secondo il censimento del 2023, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa conta oltre 40 milioni di abitanti. La maggioranza assoluta appartiene al gruppo etnico [[pashtun]] (o pakhtun), che costituisce circa i due terzi della popolazione. I pashtun sono distribuiti soprattutto lungo le zone centrali, meridionali e nelle aree tribali della provincia, e seguono storicamente il codice del ''[[Pashtunwali]]''. Oltre ai pashtun, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa vivono altre etnie e comunità: gli [[Lingua hindko|Hindko-speakers]], concentrati specialmente nella zona di Hazara e in parte di Peshawar; i Chitrali, che parlano la [[Lingua khowar|lingua Khowar]] e abitano la valle di Chitral, all'estremo nord della provincia; i gruppi Kohistani, Torwali, [[Gurjar|Gujjar]], [[Kalash]] e altri gruppi minori, presenti soprattutto nelle vallate di montagna. I Kalash sono noti per la loro religione animista pre-islamica e per le tradizioni uniche in tutta la regione.

Secondo il censimento del Pakistan del 2023, l'attuale provincia del Khyber Pakhtunkhwa conta 40,9 milioni di abitanti, di cui oltre l'85% risiede in aree rurali.<ref name="pbs.gov.pk">{{cita web | titolo=AREA, POPULATION BY SEX, SEX RATIO, POPULATION DENSITY, URBAN POPULATION, HOUSEHOLD SIZE AND ANNUAL GROWTH RATE, CENSUS-2023 | url=https://www.pbs.gov.pk/sites/default/files/population/2023/tables/kp/pcr/table_1.pdf | sito=pbs.gov.pk | editore=Pakistan Bureau of Statistics}}</ref>
=== Lingue parlate ===
 
La lingua più parlata è il [[Lingua pashtu|pashto]], nelle sue diverse varianti dialettali (tra cui la variante Yusufzai, quella Afridi e così via). L'[[Lingua urdu|urdu]], considerata la lingua nazionale del Pakistan, è ampiamente compresa e impiegata nelle comunicazioni ufficiali e nei contatti interetnici. In alcune zone (Hazara e dintorni), si parla l'[[Lingua hindko|hindko]], che ha radici punjabi/indiane settentrionali. [[Lingua khowar|Khowar]], Kohistani, [[Lingua saraiki|Saraiki]] e altre lingue minori completano il quadro di grande pluralità linguistica.

=== Religione ===
La stragrande maggioranza dei residenti nel Khyber Pakhtunkhwa professa l'[[Sunnismo|islam sunnita]], mentre nelle zone di Kurram, Kohat, Hangu, Orakzai, Dera Ismail khan, Mardan e in diversi distretti del centro-sud della provincia è presente una significativa sciita. Oltre agli sciiti duodecimani, nel distretto di [[Chitral]] vive anche una comunità di [[Ismailismo|ismailiti]].<ref name="A Brief History of Pakistan">{{cita libro | autore=James Wynbrandt | titolo=A Brief History of Pakistan | anno=2009 | editore=Infobase Publishing | città=New York | pp=52-54}}</ref> Nel sud del [[Chitral]], la popolazione [[kalash]] conserva una forma arcaica di [[politeismo]] intrisa di [[animismo]], un culto da tempo diffuso nelle regioni montuose del nord-est.<ref name="A Brief History of Pakistan"/> A Peshawar e in altri centri urbani si trovano in numero molto esiguo [[Cristianesimo|cristiani]] (principalmente [[Chiesa cattolica in Pakistan|cattolici]]), [[Induismo in Pakistan|indù]] e [[Sikhismo|sikh]].<ref>{{cita web | url=http://www.bhagwanvalmiki.com/pakistan.htm | titolo=Pakistan Valmiki Sabha | editore=Bhagwanvalmiki.com | accesso=12 dicembre 2012 | urlmorto=sì | urlarchivio=https://web.archive.org/web/20040517232241/http://www.bhagwanvalmiki.com/pakistan.htm | dataarchivio=17 maggio 2004}}</ref><ref>{{cita web | url=http://news.oneindia.in/2010/02/24/sikhrefugees-demand-indiancitizenship.html | titolo=Sikh refugees demand Indian citizenship | editore=Oneindia News | data=24 febbraio 2010 | accesso=12 dicembre 2012 | dataarchivio=9 luglio 2014 | urlarchivio=https://web.archive.org/web/20140709055130/http://news.oneindia.in/2010/02/24/sikhrefugees-demand-indiancitizenship.html | urlmorto=sì}}</ref>
La stragrande maggioranza della popolazione (oltre il 95%) è di [[Islam|fede musulmana]], in prevalenza [[Sunnismo|sunnita]] di scuola [èHanafismo|Hanafi]]. Vi sono piccole minoranze di [[Sciismo|sciiti]], concentrate in alcune aree (ad esempio a Kurram), e di altre confessioni ([[Cristianesimo|cristiani]], [[Sikhismo|sikh]], [[Induismo|hindu]] e, come accennato, [[Kalash#Religione|kalash]]). Non mancano santuari e luoghi di culto di importanza storica per la comunità musulmana, come la [[Moschea Mohabbat Khan|moschea Mahabat Khan]] a Peshawar, costruita in epoca Mughal.

La città principale e capoluogo è [[Peshawar]], con una popolazione che supera i due milioni di abitanti, seguita da [[Mardan]], [[Mingora]] (Swat), [[Kohat]], [[Abbottabad]], [[Bannu]] e [[Dera Ismail Khan]]. Negli ultimi decenni si è assistito a una forte migrazione interna, spesso causata da conflitti nelle aree tribali o dalla ricerca di migliori opportunità lavorative. Inoltre, la presenza di rifugiati afghani (specialmente dal 1979 in poi) è un aspetto demografico cruciale, che ha modificato la composizione etnica e socioeconomica di molte zone, soprattutto di Peshawar e dei distretti circostanti.
